Jan 31st will be my 2 year surgiversary. I have lost a total of 130lbs and still working hard to lose more! I started out weighing 330 and as of this week I weight 199. My goal weight is 150 and it is soo much harder to lose now, but I started keeping a food journal and working out 6 days a week. The surgery has changed my life is so many ways. I am more confident in myself now. I can keep up with my 7 year old son and it feels good to be a good role model for him too. I no longer have diabetes. My high blood pressure still lingers around, but it is nowhere near what it use to be...before surgery I was on 12 different medications and now I am down to 3. It feels good to workout and be able to keep up with my skinny/healthy friends. I love being able to find clothes that fit when I go to any store instead of having to shop in plus size stores. I can cross my legs now and it is comfortable. The only problem I have with myself now is the saggy skin, but in comparison to all of the pros the skin is worth it!! When I get down to goal weight I am thinking of having plastics done. I am very blessed and glad that I had surgery and great job and good luck to everyone!! You can do it!!!

This surgery has changed my life so much. I am close to getting of my prednisone for my RA. It was the reason I gained so much weight and I will be glad to get rid of it. I am making major life changes as well. I have decided to become a police officer and I am working hard to gain muscle and tone up. My confidence is so high now. It is flattering to have men hit on me and even better when I try on smaller and smaller sizes. However one if the best things is that my husband and I are like newlyweds. He can not keep his hands off if me. It has rekindled a deep love and passion for my husband and our marriage.

I LOVE life!!!! Having this surgery has given me a second chance and I am taking full advantage of it. I did this to get healthy. I was on three prescription medications for high blood pressure a day and still was running high. Now I'm not on any bp meds and my blood pressure is perfect!!!! I go to the gym everyday and I'm challenging myself in ways I used to be scared of. I'm now a better wife and mother. I thank God for this amazing blessing.

It feels wonderful!!! I haven't been in the 100s since middle school!! A huge smile was brought to my face and I was jumping up and down! I am excited to get to my goal...it may take awhile.... and I may start researching some plastic surgery.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
